Additional Information

Pharmacological Effects: Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. By blocking these chemicals, ibuprofen helps reduce pain and fever.

Clinical Trials: A randomized controlled trial published in the American Journal of Medicine compared the effectiveness of ibuprofen with other pain relievers in children. The study concluded that ibuprofen provided superior pain relief with a lower risk of side effects.
